Englishtype and BBC Schools Bitesize Dance Mat Typing
When the BBC wanted to develop an online program for touch typing for kids, their team looked at the other typing tutors around and they decided Englishtype’s design and approach was the one they liked best. So they invited Englishtype’s Educational Psychologist, Jo, to be the consultant and educational designer of their program – BBC BiteSize Dance Mat Typing.
